The overall squad rating for Cremonese is 6.67, compared to 6.71 for Spezia. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Cremonese's highest-rated starter is J. Vandeputte (6.86), while Spezia's best-rated player is P. Wiśniewski (6.85).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Cremonese have contributed 4 goals and 9 assists this season, led by F. Folino (1G). Spezia's starters account for 10 goals and 7 assists, spearheaded by G. Aurelio (6G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Cremonese deploy 3 defenders rated 6.62 on average, against Spezia's 3-man backline averaging 6.80. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Cremonese field 5 midfielders averaging 6.67, versus Spezia's 5 rated 6.67. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Cremonese start 2 forward(s) averaging 6.73, compared to 2 for Spezia averaging 6.57. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 74% for Cremonese and 77% for Spezia. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Cremonese's starters have collected 12 yellow cards this season, compared to 35 for Spezia. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Cremonese's starting XI is 29.1 (youngest: F. Folino (23), oldest: M. Castagnetti (36)), while Spezia average 27.4 (youngest: G. Di Serio (24), oldest: Á. Nagy (30)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Cremonese's starters average 14 league appearances each, versus 23 for Spezia. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
